 CHICAGO, May 15.-Until now the Chicago Bricklayers' union has held aloof from local labor organizations and has even maintained independence of the Erie cklayers' Interna- tional union. A meeting of the workmen cided last night to take advantage of the lockout against the brickiayers to bring them to terms. Resolutions were adopted that if they did not join the council before Tuesday the council would assist the international union to route the ultra independents. Ap- parently Chicago bricklayers must now sur render, either to their employers or to their loW-Morkmen.

CHANGES TO BE MADE.
Midsummer Improvement of tn,
 United Church.

United Church.
 Various improvements at the United church are in contemplation and will be made next summer. The present stairways leading to the galleries being circuitous, and somewhat objectionable on that account, are to be removed and replaced by others of more direct ascent, while the gallery is also to be essentially altered. The change will furnish increased room in the choir gallery. The interior of the church is also to be renovated and the entire ceiling will receive a new frescoing.

 Snedecker is now sixty years old, and dur ing his absence has visited nearly every country on the globe. He followed sea faring life most of the time.

hereafter all plans and specifications
submitted to him of any building,
great or small, and no building shall
be erected without a proper permit.
He thinks there are at least one hun
dred houses built and building that
have 10 permits. lie insists upon all
persons taking ont permits. 1t costs
nothing to do so; and that he shall ell
force the law and then It will cost the
parties something, The following
permits were issued yesterday and
to-day:

JIM COURTRlGHT
Killed by Luke Short at Fort Worth.

Fort WORTH, Feb. 10.-Jim Court
right, the notorious, was killed in
front of the White Elephant saloon by
Luke Short, gambler, last evening at
1880. One shot struck Courtright in
the thumb, one in the left side, one in
the hip and another in the shoulder.
Deceased fell with his hand on his
pistol, but the wounded thumb pre-
vented its use. Short is in Jail, as is
also Charles Bull, who is said to have
been in scheme with Courtright to
murder Short, at the instance of his
enemies in this city.
1t seems that COPYRIGHT was using
his detective agency for the purpose
OF squeezing money out of Short and
other gamblers, whom he forced 10
pony up large sums to keep quiet.
Short refused to pay on keno game
recently inaugurated, and this led to
threats and b.ackmail by detectives.
Courtright, Bull and others met Short
to talk the matter over. They disa-
grecd-each sought his gun-Short
got there first.
Short says he thought they had
about settled the matter, when Court
right stepped back, commanded him
not to draw his gun and threw back
his hand to get his pistol. That he
(Sht rD then shot him as quick as he
could. The first shot struck Court
rights thumb and the last struck him
in the shoulder and penetrated the
heart.
Short is said TO be Il quiet, fearless
man.
